The adrenaline of pulling off an impossible extraction, and the frustration of eventually dying with all your hard-earned loot is exactly why Arc Raiders keeps me coming back for more. Embark Studios’ second game, following the brilliance of The Finals, was a true surprise. Despite being an extraction shooter with ties to more competitive audiences, it was a phenomenon. Even my grandma was playing it (not really, she was too busy on Candy Crush). If you still haven’t tried it yourself, here’s your chance to give it a go. But be quick, as Fanatical’s all-time low price is only available…

Workiversaries in the game industry are bittersweet these days. It’s tricky celebrating career milestones when it seems like every other week, hundreds of people lose their livelihoods all at once. For CD Projekt Red localization QA analyst Paula Mackiewicz-Armstrong, who recently hit eight years with the studio, it’s simply a moment of gratitude for stability in a very unstable environment.”It’s quite strange reflecting on it, cause instead of celebrating achievements or releases, my thoughts turn to the situation in the industry,” Mackiewicz-Armstrong writes in a recent Linkedin post. “Here I am, 8 years and counting, and over at Epic, 1000…

Frostpunk 2 is, by its very name, a cold game. That’s its whole shtick, that the world is covered by an apocalyptic blizzard, and it’s on you to figure out how to keep your city running amongst the harsh conditions. This includes keeping everyone warm, so it does tickle me that the game’s next bit of DLC, revealed to be titled Breach of Trust, essentially says “no, not that warm.” The DLC, which is slated to be released on June 23rd, brings you to New Edinburgh, a city built near a volcano. Said volcano was, notably, being used…

Following the announcement in March that V-Buck prices will be going up in Fortnite, Epic has confirmed that you’ll only get 800 V-Bucks from Fortnite Crew subscriptions from next season. Since its introduction, the monthly Fortnite Crew pack has included 1,000 V-Bucks, but that is being reduced to be brought in line with the basic currency rates now in affect in the game. This reduction was confirmed in March, but the exact timing hadn’t been revealed. Epic’s March statement on the Fortnite V-Bucks changes read: “The V-Bucks grant in Fortnite Crew will change from 1,000 to 800 V-Bucks. Fortnite Crew…

Starfield Cruise Mode allows you to fly through the space between planets within a system while taking in the full experience, instead of simply using fast travel to jump there in an instant.

This current era of the internet is very easily the worst one, even within its comparatively short existence. A myriad of reasons contributes to this, the most annoying and newest one being the advent of AI preying upon every last post you release unto the world. Artists are essentially in a constant state of looking over their shoulder in a dark alleyway in fear of their works being stolen. So what is Lucas Pope, creator of Papers, Place and Return of the Obra Dinn doing to combat this? Simply not sharing his work. Speaking with Vlambeer co-founder Rami…

We’ve been waiting a decade now for the release of Witchbrook, formerly Spellbrook, the cutesy magical life sim from Chucklefish. The good news is that the game’s still coming; the team behind it is just trying to resist playing too strongly into obvious comparisons.Chucklefish COO Donna Orlowski discussed the perpetual delays with Knowledge. “The most important thing in developing this game was to ensure that what we do build is going to meet not only our expectations but expectations of an audience that has been given so much already,” she states.”How can we ensure that it’s not just another similar…

But the genre’s siren song is being sung once again with a follow-up to the pretty mysterious island game in the form of Call of the Elder Gods. Which, as it just so happens, now has a release date that is fast approaching. As shared in a snazzy new trailer, Call of the Elder Gods is planned for release in a little over a month on May 12th. Those that played the original will find themselves embodying a familiar face, Harry…

It’s been a rough road for Starfield. Touted as The Elder Scrolls in Space and the next evolution of the Bethesda RPG, it’s struggled to have the same impact as its sister franchise, dwarfed by both Fallout and The Elder Scrolls in terms of both scale and acclaim. Two years and seven months on from launch (yes, it really has been that long), we’ve seen Shattered Space do a little bit of reputational lifting, but Terran Armada – the game’s first big DLC since September 2024 – is is set to reinvent the wheel. With Starfield currently sitting at just…
